Under the Cliffs
Music: Louisa Gray (1830–1911) · Words: Alfred E.T. Watson
Under the cliffs a fair lady sits,
Under the cliffs by the rippling sea,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:31) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Under the cliffs a fair lady sits,
Under the cliffs by the rippling sea,
Over her head not a cloudlet flits,
Gleameth the sunshine merrily;
There at her feet the wavelets flow,
Leaping and sparkling bright and rare,
Cometh a true lover fain to know,
What’s in the heart of his Lady fair?
What’s in the heart of his Lady fair?
What’s in the heart of his Lady fair?
Cometh a true lover fain to know,
What’s in the heart of his Lady fair?
Eager and swift with a heart whose beat,
Moveth ’tween hope and a dreary fear,
Longing he falls at her dainty feet,
Lovingly pleads in her list’ning ear;
Turns she her head and the winds caress,
Playfully ripples her golden hair,
While from her bright eyes he well may guess
What’s in the heart of his Lady fair,
What’s in the heart of his Lady fair,
What’s in the heart of his Lady fair,
While from her bright eyes he well may guess
What’s in the heart of his Lady fair!
